DTH van der Merwe is heading to Glasgow Warriors next season, according to Canucks coach Kieran Crowley.
The South African-born 23-year-old, who trained for a week with Glasgow in April, has been named at outside centre in the Canada side to face Wales in Toronto on Saturday, a week after proving a handful against Ireland on the wing in Vancouver.
Asked to explain that positional switch, former All Black Crowley let slip Van der Merwe's impending move.
"He's come back from a long-term (ankle) injury this year and on his form last week and with a couple of little things that we want to try I thought we would move him into our midfield," Crowley said.
"He's an accomplished player, he's going to be playing in Scotland next year for Glasgow.
"I hope I haven't given anything away there but we'll see how he comes through."
